	AMX 30 Origin France Main Gun 105mm Secondary Gun 7.62mm MG Crew 4 Weight 36.000 Kg Speed 65 km/h Range 200 km Giat Industries has built and delivered to a dozen armies almost 2,300 AMX 30 main battle tanks, as well as 1,100 derivative versions. The tank is well profiled, strongly armed, endowed with a very good mobility and a great autonomy. It is protected only from small gauge weapons and the effects of artillery. The AMX 30 B2 is able to fight in a contaminated atmosphere and to cross in immersion of the water levels 2 depth m (4 m with snorkel). It is intended for all missions requiring operations in traditional or nuclear environments power: direct destruction of the enemy forces, and in priority of the armoured forces immediate and major exploitation of the effects of the others weapons, in particular of the nuclear weapon.

	AMX-10 Origin France Main Gun 20mm Cannon Secondary Gun 7.62mm MG Crew 2 + 8 passengers Weight 14.500 Kg Speed 65 km/h Range 150 km The AMX 10 is a support and freight vehicle of the mechanized infantry units, and the tank carried squadrons of the combat regiments. This tracked amphibious armoured vehicle transports a group of 9 men in addition to the driver and gunner under turret. It has a great autonomy and an excellent terrestrial and water mobility, which allow it, in particular, to cross by its own means a flooded cut. Its armament enables it to intervene effectively against light armoured tanks and low flying aircraft. Protected against weapons from average gauge and the shrapnel of artillery shell, it can fight in contaminated atmosphere. Crew: 2 men (1 conductor and 1 gunner) remain on board after the unloading of a group whose leader also serves as commander of the vehicle. A French SNPE explosive reactive armour (ERA) kit and others are available for use on the AMX-10P. However, during dismounted troop movement, ERA would be a hazard. Thus, passive armour is more likely; and ERA application is doubtful. Variants: AMX-10P : Variant with Milan or HOT ATGM launcher AMX-10P/Milan : ATGM launcher vehicle, with two launchers AMX/HOT : ATGM launcher vehicle (Toucan II turret, 4 launchers) AMX-10 TM : Mortar carrier towing 120-mm RT-61 mortar AMX-10 PAC 90 : Fire support/AT variant with Giat 90-mm gun AMX-10P Marine : Improved swim variant w/ 12.7/25/90-mm gun AMX-10 PC : Command variant with varied command stations AMX-10 RC : Wheeled (6 x 6) fire support vehicle with 90-mm gun AMX-10 RAC : The same fire support chassis with 105-mm gun
